Just by way of an aside, in this part of Australia, at least, there is an
additional difficulty in photographing children's soccer games. (I have a
young son who has played for several years).

 

In a wave of liability madness and paedophile hysteria fanned by the media,
many clubs have actually enacted rules prohibiting ALL photography at the
games.

 

It sounds like this, 

Referee - Sir, will you please put away your camera?

Parent - I am just taking photos of my own child

Referee - Do you have the permission of EVERY child's parent?

Parent - No I just want to photograph my own child and his team mates for
the parents. 

Referee - Sir - I have to stop the game unless you put the camera away.

 

Quite unbelievable to me.
